Terrible, somebody needs to tell him that we're attending Valencia, not Harvard. His tests questions go well beyond the homework and in-class discussions.

Best math teacher I've had in my life. He makes it easy to wrap your mind around the core concept of the topics he talks about. He is extremely helpful, he will go over any problem until he feels that you understand the material. I will be taking him for Intermediate Algebra next semester. I recommend everyone to take him.

This is by far the best professor I have ever had in Valencia College. I enjoyed his class so much that I given my major a second thought. Calc II is notoriously hard, but he doesn't add to that connotation. Instead, he teaches you the beauty of calculus, and leaves you wanting for more. In short, a good teacher explains, a great teacher inspires.

You will not actually learn Calculus but you can pass easily. He skips a lot of important material, so be prepared to suffer in Calc 2 or Calc 3 if you have a different professor.

Amazing professor. Graded by 4 tests which is very manageable for someone who is very busy. I was already pretty good with trig so this class was perfect! There are still plenty of resources for those who are not as familiar.

This professor makes the class very easy, there are just 4 tests you need to do for the class and he is a very easy grader. The mean is 96.3% and the median is 100% for his tests. If you want a light workload and a guaranteed pass take this professor. Also, note he stops providing video lectures halfway through the course, so either read or youtube

Y'all, this class is my favorite! I was scared going into Trig, but this class boosted my confidence. He only grades 4 tests that make up your entire grade, but the tests were super simple and straightforward. TAKE HIM RIGHT NOW, HE IS THE MOMENT.

Professor Flores was a great class. Only 4 tests with 10 questions (only grades the whole semester), very easy to get a good grade in this class just need to make sure you pay attention to due dates. Overall, very light class, would recommend pairing it with one of your harder classes.

If your wanting an easy class to take thats almost guaranteed to be an A I would take this one. The only assignments you'll have is 4 tests as long as you show your work you shouldn't have a problem getting a 100 given he gives you a week to do each take home test. He's a great professor and dives into great detail, always offers help when needed.

Professor Flores' MAC1114 class was a breeze! The grading is straightforward, with just 4 tests making up your entire grade. While the textbook is used, the lecture videos and unstuckstudy AI study tools made the material very manageable, even for those without a strong trig background. Definitely recommend this class!

Best professor ever, if you're thinking about taking Calc 1 with him DO ITTTT!!!! He truly is the best. Your grade is only based on the tests and you have a whole week to do each test. For the tests you submit a pdf of your answers and work, open notes on everything. Do what you will with that info. Class is an EASY A. Love him!

I absolutely adore Dr. Flores! Had to take Calc as a major requirement and he has made it extremely fun and easy to balance with a heavy course load. 10/10 highly recommend him!!! Exams are take home and due within the week which is a HUGE plus.

really great guy. but, his teaching style didnt work for me personally. he doesnt assign hw & only grades the 4 (including the final) take home tests. very ez to pass but not a good class to take if it's ur first time taking calc. if im not assigned hw, i wont carve out time for the class. if u need that push of hw & stuff, dont take. nice dude tho

I'm sure this professor is smart and nice but his online class was just not for me. It felt like I didn't learn calc 2 since I was basically teaching myself the entire time and when it came to exams I was faking the knowledge I had. I'm sure I taught myself well but it sucks that this professor didn't push his students to practice what they learned

This professor only teaches for credit. I missed half the classes and submitted exams with 3 missing answers and still got a 100%. He doesn't incentivize students to learn. You will get an A if you take him, but you will not master the content of the class, which you'll probably need in the future classes.

This was a wonderful professor, you could pretty much go at your own pace. Everything is graded off of the tests but he is super flexible for when you take the tests. The homework is not graded. This was the best class I ever took.

Guaranteed an A, he gives 4 exams (open note), which make up your entire grade. Homework not graded. Lack of accountability made me slack off. It's a self-paced, self-taught course, which was not my cup of tea. Take it if you want an easy A, not if you want to learn. It will be hard to retain the info for future classes. Professor is nice, though.

He offers videos for each section he teaches. Answers emails fast. You ARE only graded on tests. You can use the book or online book. This is mostly self taught but every online class is. Gives you a practice test & a video on how he did each question. Reflects test exactly. You CAN learn if you try. Took him for mac2311&2312. Confident for mac2313

I didn't end up learning much, if anything, from this professor about the subject material. I did end up passing the class with 100% however. This is because the class is comprised of a small number of tests, and as long as you fumble your way through the correct process, he'll give you full credit. No feedback; no clue how well I actually did.

I took both Calculus I and Calculus II with Dr. Flores. He's a great professor. His lectures are clear and engaging. Some students tend the take home tests for granted and don't participate much in class, but if you stay engaged, you'll learn a lot. He is very approachable and always willing to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend him.

Doctor Flores only grades on four assignments: three tests and a final that are take-home. If you take this professor and not engage in the extra resources he provides, you will not learn. You have to be willing to do the assignments that are not part of your grade to learn in this class. You have to be willing to teach yourself.

Very easy class. However, the class is what you make of it. You could easily get through with an A and learn nothing. He provides videos and there is a textbook but outside of that he doesn't teach a lot. There are 4 exams that comprise your grade. He doesn't grade very tough on the exams. Overall, easy A but you might not learn much.

If I was an engineering major, I would take him for Cal 2 also. He's so chill, he has lecture videos and even goes over the practice tests. The practice tests are so similar to his actual exams. Your grade consists of 4 take home exams, hw is not graded but it's good practice. I really do highly recommend him if you ever want a good calculus prof.

DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE TO LEARN. I know his rating is super high and everyone loves him, but you will not learn a thing if you take his online class. I had a 100 in the class and if you asked me how to do an integral I'd laugh (idk how). Take him if you want the free A. If you need to learn for future math class like calc 3 / diff eq, do not.
